Summary

Game Features
Time-limit - Every run has limited time, and every moment drains it. Take damage? Lose more time. Run out of time? Game over. Embrace armageddon and loop back.
Time-based combat - Defeat enemies to gain back lost time. Outpace damage taken with damage dealt for ultimate success! Every second can mean the difference between survival and defeat.
Time-based spellcasting - Gain time from enemies to recharge spells.
Time-based building - Equip subdials, pools of specialized time to enable special buffs.
Time-based items - Equip cogs, giving you special abilities and upgrading your subdials. Equipping too many accelerates time, so be careful with how many you choose!
Fast decision making - Will you spend time looking for upgrades to aid your journey, or move straight for the exit?
Procedural dungeon generation - Each run is a new and different challenge, as the world changes between each loop.
Meta Progression - A mysterious substance can help further resist the time loop's reset. Use this currency well to bolster your future runs!
Town Hub - Before each run, find brief respite in the town with the townsfolk. Help them, and maybe they can help you!
Face the Apocalypse
After learning about the approaching apocalypse from the seer, you quickly realize how little time is left before the end of the world. Outside a small bubble of security lies a ruined landscape ravaged by devils, demons, and other untold horrors of the night. Armed with nothing more than weapons you find, brave the forces of darkness and bring an end to the apocalypse before it consumes all.
Explore the world
Each loop is met with a uniquely twisted and destroyed landscape. With several distinct areas to brave, each more perilous than the last, you'll find new enemies, challenges, and mysteries to solve. You must navigate them all in order to find the end. Run out of time in one, and find yourself returning to the beginning of another.
